Consumer confidence rose slightly at the end of the year to 42.6 percent in December, from 39.2 percent at the beginning of the year, however consumption was weaker in 2015 than 2014.

    The Next 30 Years of Provender: from Natural/Organic to Sustainable/Locali

    The Next 30 Years of Provender: From Natural/Organic to Sustainable/Locali John Ikerdii I am pleased be invited back to speak to you by the Provender Alliance. I am particularly honored that you have asked me to speak at your 30th anniversary conference. I first heard of your organization shortly after I became involved with the sustainable agriculture movement, almost 20 years ago. However, I didn't appreciate just how long it had been around. I am not here to speak to you as an expert in natural foods marketing, as you all certainly know far more about your day-to-day business that I do. I will talk a good bit about the general history and trends in natural foods, but I plan to focus my remarks on how I see your business fitting into the larger sustainable agriculture movement, of which I believe natural foods have been and will continue to be an important part. Most important, I want to focus on those trends most likely to shape the next 30 years of Provender. The American food market is dynamic and ever changing, and with each change, comes both challenges and opportunities. The natural foods market is no exception. The growing popularity of natural foods during the 1970s and 1980s laid the foundation for a booming organic foods market during the 1990s. By the early ‘90s, growing public concerns about food safety, nutrition, and health had sparked dramatic growth in the market for organic foods. Certified organic foods seemed to satisfy food buyers' desire for a more precise definition and standards for natural foods.

Results remain to be seen from the large-scale supermarket, convenience, and home meal replacement (HMR) subsectors in which U.S. Agriculture enjoys comparative advantages. These subsectors demonstrated substantial growth in 1998 despite stagnation of the overall supermarket sector and general recession. 1998 retail sales in Japan’s retail food sector reached nearly $380 billion. Large-scale supermarket food sales rose 5.4% nationwide in 1998, with key regions registering as high as 17% growth. HMR sales gained 3.5%, with some national retailers registering as high as 7% growth in HMR. ATO Tokyo expects an eventual slowdown in these subsectors, as new store openings taper due to the official one-year moratorium on new stores which commenced June 2000. Large-scale supermarket chains are streamlining distribution, while seeking direct overseas private label sources. Processors with entrenched domestic and third-country sources are tying in closely with top retailers, applying "efficient consumer response" systems, potentially locking U.S. suppliers out long-term, absent an aggressive and immediate marketing response.

    Organic Agriculture in Humboldt County, from Social Movement to Economic Development: Interviews with Organic Dairy and Row Crop Farmers

    ORGANIC AGRICULTURE IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY, FROM SOCIAL MOVEMENT TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: INTERVIEWS WITH ORGANIC DAIRY AND ROW CROP FARMERS By Allyson L. Carroll A Thesis Presented to The Faculty of Humboldt State University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Arts In Social Sciences August, 2006 ORGANIC AGRICULTURE IN HUMBOLDT COUNTY, FROM SOCIAL MOVEMENT TO ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT: INTERVIEWS WITH ORGANIC DAIRY AND ROW CROP FARMERS By Allyson L. Carroll Approved by the Master's Thesis Committee: Judith Little, Major Professor Date Michael Smith, Committee Member Date Steven Hackett, Committee Member Date Selma Sonntag, Graduate Coordinator Date Christopher Hopper, Dean for Research and Graduate Studies Date ABSTRACT Organic agriculture is a concept that has evolved with its history, representing a farming method, social movement, and growing industry. Some analysts have critiqued organic agriculture as losing its grassroots soul and representing the conventional model of agriculture rather than an alternative to it. In order to ascertain current perceptions of organic agriculture from growers themselves, I interviewed 17 organic farmers in Humboldt County, California. These in-depth interviews focused on farmers’ rationale for certifying organic, values behind their farming style, associations with social movements, views of the federal regulations, and personal and regional economics. I interviewed both organic dairy and row crop farmers in order to compare groups and gain a spectrum of viewpoints. This study represents a place-based snapshot, particular to Humboldt County, California, a relatively rural and isolated area in need of viable economic development options. For the interviewed dairy farmers, organic agriculture represented a combination of an economic opportunity to maintain their multi-generational family farms combined with a farming method that reflected their existing techniques.

    From: George Trimble To: Doug Jerger Date: 6/24/2005 2:59PM Subject: [Response to Request for Preliminary Information About CUC]

    From: George Trimble To: Doug Jerger Date: 6/24/2005 2:59PM Subject: [Response to request for preliminary information about CUC] Doug, You are very timely. I finished doing the write up last night and planned on doing a final checkup today. It's attached. [Below] Actually, much of the information in it was taken from Kubie's article "Recollections of the First Software Company", Annals of the History of Computing, Vol. 16, No. 2, Summer 1994, pp 66-71…. My tenure with CUC was from 1956 to 1968, so I can attest to things during that period. Besides, I was involved in almost everything that went on. After 1968 I had virtually no contact with CUC. Kubie's article is the best source for what happened from 1969 to 1986. For example, I never met Bennet or Bartolli. Even Kubie's knowledge is sketchy, as he points out. For the 20 most important events I largely picked the establishment of new offices, new divisions (CUE, CTS, etc.), change of officers (Hurd, Bennet, Bartolli) and departure of key people. The FAA work was a major task which led to a large job of programming the IBM S/360, the election prediction on CBS TV, and a book on programming the 360. The second job picked was the Texas Instruments system software job, which was very large, 29 people for design and 120 for implementation. Beyond these very large jobs there were so many unique or first-time jobs that I don't know what to include. Satellite orbit calculations, first boiling water nuclear reactor design, first computer-based paramutal system for race tracks, first commercial general purpose message switching system, it goes on and on.
